    LOS ANGELES CHARGERS vs. GREEN BAY PACKERS POSTGAME TRANSCRIPTS Sunday, Nov. 3, 2019 | ROKiT Field at Dignity Health Sports Park | Carson, Calif. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS HEAD COACH ANTHONY LYNN Opening statement: “I thought that was a good team win. I thought all three phases played well, prepared well. Coaches did an outstanding job with the game plans.” On the running game: “We established a run and we committed to it. Those guys, they started out way at the beginning of the season. I knew they could do it, they did it last year. It’s just giving them enough opportunities.” On a fast-paced offense: “It was a point of emphasis. If you look at when we moved the ball down the field and have been the most efficient, a lot of the times it’s when we are in a no-huddle offense. We decided to go with that a little bit today.” On Offensive Coordinator Shane Steichen: “Shane did an outstanding job. Like I said, I’m always wanting to get involved, but Shane would never have to look over his shoulder when calling plays. He did an outstanding job. I thought he was aggressive when he needed to be aggressive and he did a good job establishing the run when he had to.” On using a timeout in the second quarter: “No, that happens. Sometimes you change your mind on a play or what not or communication could have been bad between the quarterback [Philip Rivers] and Shane [Steichen], but it happens.” On Steichen: “I thought he did an outstanding job.
